Troy Times.
Farmers must be governed by the
circumstances around them. What
they may do this year at profit cir
cumstances may make impossible next
year or make it loss to do it second
time. The most successful farmer is
the one that can use his surroundings
to the best advantage. You should
catch on to every favorable circum-
stance that surrounds you and make
the most of it, for this is what many
times makes the difference between
profit or loss at the close of the years
reckoning.
